You may want to adapt your frontend to pull data from the native XML server run in mythbackend, rather than requiring a separate web server. See MythXMLTest for a program detailing how to access these methods.

Unfortunately, we still need a mechanism to create the necessary images in the proper format. The mythbackend XML won't provide any of that information or generate the image files.
The XML interface provides a 'GetPreviewImage' mechanism that returns PNGs from an optional size and video position.

Sweet. I'll give it a shot.
